This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled maple: make maple_bus_type static and const to my char-misc git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git in the char-misc-next branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will also be merged in the next major kernel release during the merge window. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. From e76933a9bfa9b7f28a387f2e13cb3e689adc200d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2023 15:06:19 +0100 Subject: maple: make maple_bus_type static and const There is no need to export maple_bus_type as no one uses it outside of maple.c, so make it static, AND make it const as it can be read-only as no one modifies it.
